Nice pictures, story heavily overdone

Rating: Null/10 (26 November 1999)

Despite the over-romantisized plot and being drowned in cliches, I sincerely liked the movie the first half of the film. Thanks to the brilliant surrealistic cameraworks and light, the story was like a fairy tale which was a pleasure to watch. Unfortunately the movie ended with a terrible long monologue in which 1900 (Tim Roth) tries to explain why he wants to die in the ship. I was so annoyed by this, that it was a relief when he actually was blown up.
